self-study courses

The self-study/on-demand courses provide the structure of the taught courses without constraining you to a schedule. Doesn’t hurt that it appeals to your budget either!

Should I choose this learning option?

This is for you if you can’t be in class at the same time every week, have no trouble following instructions or like studying on your own.

What’s included?

Self-study and on-demand Japanese courses are on your schedule.

tailored schedule
The good thing about studying by yourself is that you can do it whenever you have time. The curriculum has a column where you can write in your lesson schedule.

Self-study and on-demand Japanese courses come with a curriculum to keep you on track.

If you like knowing what to expect or want to have something to look forward to, this curriculum will give you an overview of lessons in the course.

Self-study and on-demand Japanese courses use a detailed workbook put together to teach you how to learn Japanese.

These worksheets will help guide you through the course material and show you how everything comes together in the Japanese language.

Self-study Japanese courses come with answer keys so you check to see what you're getting and not getting.

Answers and sample sentences are given for most of the worksheets in the workbook so you can double check your understanding of the material.

Sensei will review and give feedback on all worksheets for live, online Japanese courses if you turn them in.

worksheet feedback (on-demand courses only)
Email me scans/photos of your worksheets and you’ll receive worksheet corrections via email or in class. *

Self-study courses don’t come with worksheet feedback but I need some help. Can you look at my worksheets?

Sure. There are a few ways we can do this: below are my suggestions but feel free to choose what works best for you.

Need someone to review (almost) all of a workbook’s worksheets? Buy the せんせいにしつもん!Ask Sensei! package that goes with those course worksheets and then submit your worksheets following the instructions.

Need to review only a couple of worksheets?
Book a tutoring session (these can be as short as 15 minutes) and we can go over them together.

I bought the matching せんせいにしつもん! Ask Sensei! package. / * I’m in an on-demand course.

When are you sending worksheet feedback to me?

You can find info about the timeline at the bottom of the Worksheet Submission page.
